Sleeping Beauty (Walt Disney, 1959) Maleficent Animation Drawing Produced over 65 years ago for Walt Disney's sixteenth feature length animated film, this lot offers one of Disney's most iconic villainesses, Maleficent, in an elegant original animation drawing. Masterfully rendered in graphite on 16-field animation paper, this drawing can be found in the final film near the 1:02:12 timestamp of the film as she approaches the captured Prince holding her magic staff. Maleficent's animation direction was led by one of "Walt's Nine Old Men", Marc Davis, who was also described by Walt Disney as a "Renaissance man" for his ability to master story, character, animation, and show design. Adding further to her iconic character, Maleficent's elegant voice provided by Eleanor Audley (1905 - 1991), the same woman who voiced Lady Tremaine in Cinderella. Showcasing an intimidating glower from the Mistress of All Evil, the drawing is numbered 39 in the bottom right corner. This piece of original production artwork has reinforced pegholes, normal age-related toning, and minor handling and edge wear from production including a partially torn and creased bottom left corner. In Very Good condition.
